Cempasuchíl

5.0 out of 5 rating

Cempasúchil (pronounced sempa soo cheel) means Marigold in Spanish. Marigolds are used ornamentally and culturally in Mexico, particularly for Dia De Los Muertos (Day of the Dead) where we celebrate our ancestors who have passed. Marigolds are white, orange, gold, and bronze flowers. They’re not perfumey in a typical floral way.

2024 Cempasúchil shower gel was made for Dia De Los Muertos (Day of the Dead ) 2024.

The glorious scent is made with Grapefruit, Buchu oil, and Bergamot oil. It also has some of the marigold flower.

I love everything about the scent of cempasúchil. I fell in love the first time i sprayed the body spray on. It’s bright, and citrussy but with a creamy buchu note. Buchu oil has a strong and intense herbaceous and minty note, with camphor and fruity facets. It is also reminiscent of blackcurrant notes.

It’s fresh and wonderful.

2025 Cempasúchil Body Spray, Soap and shower gel were made for Dia De Los Muertos 2025. All these three 2025 products have the same scent.

(Lush also has three other soaps for Dia De Los Muertos 2025 with a different scent that don’t have the cempasúchil scent. The three other soaps have Litsea cubeba, frankincense, and bergamot.)

Anyway back to Cempasúchil 😄

The soap is almost too pretty to use, with its gold hummingbird drinking the marigold nectar.

The marigold adds to the bright colors found on Dia De Los Muertos.

I love this soap. For the look of it and the scent i give the soap a 5 out of 5 rating for sure.

I feel the same way about the shower gel and the body spray.

I’d rate the body spray a 4.5 out of 5

And the shower gel is just as amazing smelling to me. And it’s pretty with the orange color and gold sparkle.

I’d rate the Shower gel a 5 out of 5

Cempasúchil is similar to Lush ‘iced wine’ shower jelly, sharing the buchu, bergamot and grapefruit combination. except the difference between the iced wine and cempasúchil is cempasúchil doesn’t have the iced wine nor the grape infusion, and the iced wine doesn’t have marigold flower infusion.

This is a pretty, new snowflake shape for Christmas. A bright pink color and it has some blue inside as well. Its not a large bomb, its more on the medium/small size.

The scents is a new one, as Lush states its made with lemon, buchu and currant.

It smells brightly, fruity to me, but not in a citrus way, more in a berryish way. I thought this smelled somewhat familiar but couldn’t put my finger on it. But after asking lush i was told its a brand new scent.

I used Cheery Christmas bath bomb in my bath along with the Lush blackberry and currant Scrub scrub scrub. I figured since yhey both have berries in them they would go nicely.

I like the blue and pink combination of the bath bomb colors in the tub.

The end result is a different shade of purple, almost a mauve color, with silver sparkle.

Gorgeous!

I bought two more Cheery Christmas bath bombs when i placed my secondLush Christmas order.

Lush description: Outside, snowflakes fall to the ground, creating a picturesque postcard landscape, untouched and unspoilt. Against the back drop of a winter dream, Sicilian lemon oil refreshes and rejuvenates putting a smile on the face of all who bathe here. Pop this bundle of joy in the bath and allow the intricate pattern to take shape before your eyes. Lay back, feel relaxed and enjoy the festive season as blackcurrant-scented buchu oil spreads the cheer.

After all, ’tis the season to be jolly.
